Whether you believe in The Madden Curse or roll your eyes at it, you have something new to roll your eyes at-- Madden Curse: The Movie. Every year a different player is featured on the cover of the Madden NFL video game. Then, much like Final Destination, that player is then subsequently befallen with a season or career ending injury. The records speak for themselves:

1999 - Running back Garrison Hearst - broken fibula

2000 - Running back Dorsey Levens - career-ending knee injury

2001 - Eddie George - started to suck

2002 - QB Dante Culpepper - season-ending knee injury

2003 - Marshall Faulk - ankle injury

2004 - QB Michael Vick - broken leg the day after the game was released

The film will reportedly center around "a former Madden video game champion who is forced out of retirement just as he finds himself on the corner of the game’s cover — and subject to the curse." I don't know if that refers to a football player who graced the cover, or a video game player that somehow ends up on the cover. Either way, my advice is to wear knee pads. It's the same advice I give your mom. (The Wrap)
